Took me awhile to get this posted. This was my first time leasing, wanted to get it done before 2024 discounts disappeared.
I had to pay $500 up front, but that also counted as the first lease payment ($471). Then, mysteriously, the dealership sent me a check refunding me $225 with no explanation. Not sure how any of that factors into the calculator. Ford credit showing 1/36 payments made.
